I guess I’m guilty of it too, but not everything needs to be an apples to apples comparison to a previous season. People see the struggles of the offense and immediately think 2023 all over again. But I dare anyone to try to compare Vic’s defense to Desai/Patricia, this year’s linebackers to 2023, or this year’s secondary to that one.

This will be its own team. Maybe the offense struggles for a lot of the season, but if the defense stays healthy they’re only going to continue to gel and improve like they did last year. Especially with Nakobe on the mend.

Yep. This team isn't like 23 or 24. Defense is good and has young guys who will get better. They aren't as deep in the secondary or DL.

The offense isn't ladt year. They miss Wilson blocking and MB. Dickerson is hurt as well and teams are selling out to stop SB.

They don't have a good OC. Multiple games already where he couldn't adjust to what the opposing defense started doing. Not only couldn't he adjust he looked inept. He is a problem and I'm not sure he gets better. It took Andy years to learn that but he rarely looked as lost as KP.

They also don't have the OL depth they had last year.

This team has to figure crap out. Some I think they can but other stuff will be a weakness. We will see if they are good enough to overcome them.

So who is going to be "The Eagles Biggest Threat" this week? It changes every week, lol.

Their biggest threat is themselves. They are playing C+ level football right now.

Yesterday was the first time I really tried to pay attention to what Barkley was running into.

Someone who rewatches and watches all-22 should refute or verify, but I really don't think teams are selling out to stop the run against us anymore. There were multiple 3rd and longs against prevent defenses with light boxes that were stonewalling our OL and stopping Barkley at the line.

What kind of play do you call against a soft front when you have a running game that can't get yards against it and a QB that only throws into big windows when the entire second level is blanketed in tight coverage?

I am really worried that AJ Brown is washed. I know that's still only at fringe hot take status right now. But it's starting to feel more and more real.

It's possible he is physically declining. He doesn't create separation on those quick comeback routes as often. I tend to think that more of the problem is the play design. Every analyst likes to point out how simple the Eagles' passing offense is. I think too much of the offense is predictable. There is nothing that throws defenses off about the route concepts. It often looks like none of the receivers are open. I think that's because they so frequently run the same routes out of the same formation.

The other possibility is that Hurts isn’t throwing the ball soon enough … and to a spot. That flight delay allows the DB to close on the catch point and break up the catch.

How doe he go from a 1200 yard a year receiver to washed in one year from age 27 to 28?

The Birds are 4-0 after starting 2-2 last year. Would you guys rather them have had big numbers in a 40 point Tie like Greenbay and the Boys? Or Jalen throw 450 yards like Russell and the GMen in a Loss? My point is yes there are always things to clean up but the Eagles are on a historical 20-1 run. They are winning every which way. I think it's great they are 4-0 and haven't even stepped on the gas yet.

I guess the one thing we have going for us is that basically the rest of the league sucks, so there's that.

welp, another torn triceps on the books

If Ojulari can't be active now, just cut him. It would be ridiculous.

We've seen it countless times across football. I'm not arguing that he is. I want to be wrong. But the concern is building.

Dotson has 7 targets through the first 4 games. I know they historically don’t use their #3 WR but they need to get him involved more. He can be a contributor.

Interestingly, enough, they went to Metchie early in the game yesterday I found that interesting at the time

-The 3 RZ TDs were all very creative and run to perfection. Loved all of them.

-The Baun/Campbell duo is as good as it gets. Baun was all over the field and if it wasn't for one of the worst grass fields I've seen, he would have had quite a few more TFL.

-Cooper DeJean played his best game as an Eagle.

-Kelee Ringo was not a liability and showed more than enough that he's worth playing through growing pains.

-Latu just seems to have something about him. The blocked punt and his impact blocking on offense. I want him on the field as much as if not more than Calcaterra.

-The Eagles are 4-0 and currently playing some of the worst offense in the league and the defense has yet to hit their stride.

Only if they could fix that silent count!!!

Hurts wasn't right in the second half.

this is the issue in a nutshell.

overall, the team is not clicking on all levels and yet they find themselves 4-0. i do not think they are that far off from steam rolling through the schedule, but that won't happen unless we get 60 minutes of A football.

It was a legit question man. It confuses me. Point is, that stadium was not loud. You don't need a silent count.

They weren't going to do much this season but this hurts them more

How is the concern building? He's barely targeted and that's not his fault

Every game it seems Uche grades high, but every game I fail to see him make a single play. What am I missing?

It's SOP on the road. And the stadium was very loud in the second half.

They were using that at home last week because our stadium stays loud for the offense as well. They should run a PSA all game to ask the crowd to be quiet while the offense is on the field. Especially for the Tush Push, where we use the cadence as a weapon.

Countless times? Name me 5 guys who did that at this age after the season he just had?

He had another deep ball on the other side that went out of bounds. Those are his throws, something was definitely off.
